[ti]blush[/ti]"Moisturisers are a widespread and silent traitor"

Difficult one. What I do know from my own personal experience is that the more I exfoliate my skin the less moisturiser I actually feel I need.

I started about 18 months ago using the Tresonics brush and even though I had been using a "manual" exfoliator for years over a period of a few weeks I noticed that my skin felt (and looked) less dry. I now use less moisturiser and I have almost completely stopped using the moisturise masks I used to use twice a week.

I now use a glycolic serum ... which is a milder alternative to the retinol suggested here. My skin is the best its been for a good few years and, even though I say it myself, I had good skin in the first place!

I have suffered from what I call adult acne but actually it isn't. Mine was folliculitis. It rarely affects women, mainly men. Just my luck then! So it took a long time to get the right flipping diagnosis and creams. Its been mild for a long time now but since using the glycolic its almost completely gone. That could be coincidence. I don't for one minute believe my adult acne was caused by using a moisturiser.

I shan't be giving up my moisturiser but I honestly can't see me giving up the glycolic either. I might give up the Tresonics at some point. I have been away and not taken it with me and didn't notice a difference, not now I use the glycolic. For now I'm using EVERYTHING lol.

I've deffo been brainwashed. Elsewhere people were discussing a product that was designed for face and body. I'm just not sure I could see myself using that because I'm pre programmed otherwise.

I've just put oil on my toe cuticles. Will that do for now Snarly?? The pleasures of having your own office lol.

ETA: I am always amazed at how much cream I can easily rub into my feet and it sinks right in!

I use them daily and find they greatly benefit my skin
